The Peak District was the UK’s first region to be designated as a national park and today it lays claim to being the second most visited national park in the world. It offers miles of breathtaking landscape, from the wild moorland in the north to the rolling hills of the south. Climbing, caving, walking and cycling are popular activities here, while the World Heritage Site of the Derwent Valley is a favourite beauty spot, as is the beautiful river valley at Dovedale. Make time for a visit to the Georgian spa town of Buxton, with its famous opera house, as well as Matlock and Bakewell (home of the tasty Bakewell Tart). Or step back in time at Crich Tramway Village, with its old trams and reconstructed Victorian streets.
